Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle,  without  you  being  aware  of  it.
Do
 not  repeatedly  press  the  buttons  of  your  remote  control  out  of  range  and  out  of  sight  of  your  vehicle.  You  run  the  risk  of  stopping  it  from Â
w
orking  and  the  remote  control  would  have  to  be  reinitialised.
The
 remote  control  does  not  operate  when  the  key  is  in  the  ignition,  even  when  the  ignition  is  switched  off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
A s  a  safety  precaution  (with  children  on  board),  remove  the  key  from  the  ignition  or  take  the  electronic  key  when  you  leave  the  vehicle,  even  for Â
a
 short  time.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic key may not operate if close to certain electronic devices: telephone, laptop computer, strong magnetic  fields,  ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
D on't  forget  to  turn  the  steering  to  engage  the  steering  lock.
Lost keys, remote control, electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and your personal identification documents.
T he  CITROËN  dealer  will  be  able  to  retrieve  the  key  code  and  the  transponder  code  required  to  order  a  replacement.
Do
 not  throw  the  remote  control  batteries  away,  they  contain  metals  which  are  harmful  to  the  environment.
Take
 them  to  an  approved  collection  point.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.
